Miscellaneous ideas topic.
Well, I got bored the other day and decided to reread Overmaster's "More Than Fifty-Four Negi and Chisame Threesomes". It had at least one new chapter since I last checked, and one of the shorts in there had me thinking "this would make a good starting point for a fic":
"I called Social Services and got the kid removed from office. Seriously, a boy his age shouldn't be working yet! Also, it seems his papers weren't in order, so he was deported to Wales. I think he's in the plane right now..."
My idea was, what would be the natural conquences and fallout of those actions? Just on the Mahora faculty side alone, you would have a lot of questions to answer, like who takes over as teacher for 2/3A? Which teachers/staff would be under investigation, let go/fired, or maybe even arrested? Does the government know about magic, and would they take advantage of having a chance to make a bunch of mages safely disappear should they know/find out? And more I likely haven't thought of...
Then there's the students and other non-faculty, and Negi and anyone else where he ends up. I just haven't thought these two sides out as well, mostly because the admin stuff is easier for me to think through (too many people, not enough grasp of their personalities outside of fanfics).
(And apologies if someone's already suggested this, but given the way this board is set up, I don't want to have to deal with 50 reply notices on one topic because I was reading another topic...)

This would probably have more impact on the class if Negi had been there for awhile.
Post-Mahora Festival would possibly be the best point since by that point half the class was "in the know". I mean it would be impossible to include Setsuna, Chisame, Haruna, etc. otherwise and make them care about the fact Negi was sent away if he was there for only a week.
In that case only Ayaka, Makie, and Nodoka are going to be the only ones really upset. Oh and Evangeline would be upset she lost her chance for freedom. The rest would be disappointed, but move on while others wouldn't really care such as Chisame, Mana, or Setsuna.
Asuna would be relieved that Negi was gone since her die hard loyalty for him hadn't developed yet.
Back to the MahoraFest as a starting point. Negi gathered a lot of attention during the Festival. IIRC before that he was apparently unknown to most of the school except for rumor. Say someone who doesn't approve of a Child Teacher informs Social Services?

...Wow. That really is a stupid reason.
And yes, when I envisioned the fallout, I did imagine it would have been far enough into the series that most of the girls would have major issues with Negi leaving, and I didn't get past the emotional aspects other than to acknowledge there would be more...
But let's try a different approach to who turned Negi in. Either some well meaning idiot (you know the type; the kind of person who will do the obvious "right" thing even if, in context, it's the wrong thing to do), or someone who has a less than pure motive for getting Negi out of the way (didn't Nitta-sensei say that he should be the one in charge of 3A at one point?), or simply someone with an evil plan that thinks (correctly or not) Negi would be less of a issue without his partners (said enemy doesn't have to appear in canon; this way it could be set post-manga).
(And in case you're wonder why, if I have this idea, don't I write it myself? Simple, I have issues with writing that prevent me from getting my thoughts from my brain to the page/screen. I just treat these posts as more speaking in text format than actual writing. After that, all I can really do if it's an idea is hope that someone chooses to do it justice, and maybe offer c&c.)

Chris Hansen
*is shot*
But seriously, someone sees all the situations that Negi and 3A get into and thinks the girls are taking advantage of his innocence (they are) and that he's too young to teach (he kind of is) and contacts the police or child services or something. It gets turned into a huge debacle, so the mages can't just wipe the minds of those involved.
By the way, I found this gem in the fanfic More than Fifty Four Negi and Chisame Threesomes. Not crack or romance, surprisingly. Set after the end of the manga, when Eva is traveling the multiverse or whatever.

Fiendish idea, pre-Kyoto Arc.
Inside the Library Island (and inspired by a manga), Negi found a way to change Evangeline's Infernum Scholasticus Curse from an 'anchor' to another.
As a result, Evangeline is not bound to Mahora's grounds anymore.
She's bound to Negi, a-lÓ Alucard (Hellsing).
(Bloody) Hilarity Ensue!
Well, now she can go outside the Mahora or using her powers.
She only need to be autorized by Negi...

Idea: Chisame, just after everyone gets separated at the beginning of the magical world arc, loses her Ala Alba badge. This means that Chachamaru can't pinpoint her location, and they fly over her unseen while Chisame's in the deep jungle. Away from civilization, and her labtop and pactio quickly dying, an average muggle girl who has been nothing but a NEET for the past several years has to survive in a jungle without any survival skills or equipment to help her out. A clothes-eating tentacle monster will be the least of her worries.
Thus, Chisame takes on the role of Action Survivor, forcing herself to adapt to the harsh conditions, being on the bottom of the food chain and surviving by the skin of her teeth.
An interesting angle besides Chisame adapting to the law of the jungle would be when she reunites with the rest of the cast. After over a month and a half struggling to survive with everything out to get her, I can see her being quite shellshocked, constantly jumping at anything that startles her, always carrying a blade close and refusing to accept that yes, she's safe now.

I didn't want Chisame to be a replacement character. I wanted her to develop into a unique character. Anyway, I think Chachamaru would be able to keep him together, at least until he ran across his other students, which would then help. And yes, without Chisame, Negi's actions would be very different. That's why I thought of the idea.
On a side note, now that I think of it maybe Chisame has body-image issues. She describes herself as 'plain' or 'ugly' or 'bad skin'. We don't see it, but maybe that's not because of Generic Cuteness; maybe those flaws aren't really there at all. It would help explain why she Photoshops her pictures for her site, and why she seems to often prefer her Chibi-Chiu form. Perhaps she, like many teenage girls, looks in the mirror and sees flaws, imperfections, and such where there aren't any. As we've all seen, she's actually quite pretty, especially with her hair down and glasses off (and the Clothes-Eating Octopus bit and the waterfall-shower scene during the 'Training With Rakan' mini-arc show that she's got a pretty nice figure, too).

Hmm. I think she might well refuse to let Negi (or whichever friend finds her first) out of her sight for some time afterwards, leading to awkward bathroom breaks (not that she's likely to have much thought of privacy, by then), among other things. Possibly some very clingy sleeping habits, as well.
